Quandries

We have 2 cats and a dog.  While I took a dog and a cat with me the last time I moved to Mexico, for some reason I am having reservations about it this time.

Our dog is not very well behaved.  My husband spoils her too much so she doesn't listen too well.  She's very smart, but listens only when she wants to.  I taught her to sit, lie down, give her paw and roll over all in a 4 day span.  But call her to come to you and you get a look like "You talking to me?  I will damn well come when I feel like it!"

The cats are lovable, but I don't know how well they would travel.  They are both rescue cats that I think are under 6 years old.  One is a lap cat to the point of being annoying and the other won't let you hold her and will only accept pets and strokes when she feels like it.  Both have their claws which could prove to be a problem in a vehicle when attempting to restrain or contain them.


So I am wondering if you have have ever had to give up a pet, however reluctantly it might have been?  Was it a difficult decision or was it easy?  Did you regret doing it?
